shocks and setup for ftx blaze

[racer11]

do you guys have any recommendations for shocks for an ftx blaze? i run it on a 1/10 buggy astro track with some big jumps even for the buggies, (want the bottom of it to stop hitting the floor)

thanks

Hi
Try thicker shock oil like 80wt front 60wt rear will help, also harder springs

Try looking for a set of lrp shark shocks i belive they fit straight on but not sure on the leunghth of the shaft as the shark is wider

the best shocks to fit would be carisma gti4b std or pro
but it would be £27 for the shocks and
£20 for the towers plus srews
i can give you links, if you want to go that way or as jay said find some
lrp shark ones especially if your on the plastic ones
